About the Makers
This Peace by Piece International partner, Opolis, transforms ocean-bound plastic waste into stylish, high-performance sunglasses. Through their patented StokedPlastic™ material, Opolis repurposes discarded water bottles—each pair of sunglasses removes approximately four bottles from the environment—into durable, fashion-forward frames. Opolis partners with local rPET manufacturers in communities heavily affected by plastic waste, including Bali, Manila, and Nairobi. This approach not only aids in environmental cleanup but also supports local economies.
Committed to transparency and sustainability, Opolis offers products made from both recycled and plant-based materials, aiming to shift industry standards in optics manufacturing. As a member of 1% for the Planet, the company donates a portion of its profits to environmental causes, reinforcing its mission to create premium eyewear that benefits both consumers and the planet.
